We have divided the speech Elio Fiorucci gave at the Stefano Forni gallery during the opening of the Grand Design Tour into 3 parts. This is the first extract.

Fiorucci underlines the key role of ceramics in contemporary design as well as the forsaking, by many architects, of the limited “functional” rationale of ceramic tiles: today ceramic is the perfect material for decoration thanks to its resistance and, at the same time, its strong aesthetic potential.

In this video, we see Laura Villani, “director” of The Grand Design Tour event and Paolo Cesana, Refin’s marketing manager, who comment on the ceramic slab created by Lucio Dalla for DesignTaleStudio: a graphic work characterized by a neat drawing and a careful use of colours. The video was filmed at the Trimarchi art gallery in Bologna during the inaugural evening of the Grand Design Tour.

Finally, we can start showing the videos taken last week during The Grand Design Tour. The quantity of interesting “footage” is huge, more than we expected, so we decided to take a couple of days more to decide how best to use all the clips.

Today, we present a short trailer showing some snapshots of the opening event, which took place on Wednesday, October 3. Laura Villani and Elio Fiorucci guided us throughout the entire itinerary of the exhibition, commenting on the prototypes of the famous artists and designers who collaborate with us. We hope we managed to capture the magic atmosphere of the evening, of the portico of Bologna at sunset and of the intense emotion, which rose to a crescendo as the tour moved from one interesting art gallery to another.

This short video is just a preview of a documentary film on DesignTaleStudio we are currently working on, a trip through the techniques and creativity of our ceramic art masters. Watching, yet again, the creation of a Parete Gold in the video has been a very emotional experience we immediately felt the need to share with you: never mind if the images on this clip are still “raw and crude”.

The filming has been carried out in our laboratory in Salvaterra and it shows our team at work with gold, clay and other powders to transform a porcelain stoneware slab in a real work of art: unique, irreproducible and authentic, in the wake of the great Italian ceramic tradition.
